RICE PUDDING CROCK POT RECIPE
* 2 1/2 c. cooked rice
* 1 1/2 c. scalded milk
* 2/3 c. white or brown sugar
* 3 eggs, beaten
* 1 tsp. salt
* 2 tbsp. vanilla
* 1 tsp. cinnamon
* 1 tsp. nutmeg
* 1/2 c. raisins
* 3 tbsp. soft butter
Combine all ingredients. Pour into lightly greased Crock Pot. Cook on high 1 to 2 hours. Stir during first 30 minutes. Recipe can be doubled.
RICE PUDDING WITH FRUIT
1/2 gallon milk*
1 cup uncooked rice
1 cup sugar
3 tablespoons cold margarine
1/4 teaspoon salt, optional
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup dried apricots or peaches, minced
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
*Use half nonfat and half whole milk or all nonfat for lower fat content. Can substitute evaporated milk for a very rich flavor.
The cooking time will vary greatly, anywhere from 1 1/2 to 3 1/2 hours. The longer it cooks, the thicker it will be. It is important to have the dried apricots minced. Put all ingredients into the slow cooker/Crock Pot. Stir to blend well. Cover and cook on high for 1 1/2 hours; stir once after about an hour. Or, cook on high for the first 30
minutes, turn to low and cook as long as desired. Check after the first 2 hours of low cooking and stir. If the rice is not absorbing the milk quickly enough, turn the slow cooker/Crock Pot up to high again. Keep cover on at all times.
Slow Cooker temperatures vary widely among different brands. Only experimentation can tell you the correct amount of time for cooking in your slow cooker/Crock Pot. Rarely will a slow cooker/Crock Pot recipe fail, though, as the long, slow cooking process does not require precise timing.
Serves 8.

1/4 cup Amaretto liqueur
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon almond extract
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Combine crust ingredients well; pat into a 7-inch springform pan. Beat sugar into the cheeses; add eggs; beat for 2 to 3 minutes on medium speed of an electric hand-held mixer. Add remaining filling ingredients and beat about 2 minutes more. Pour into prepared crust. Place the cheesecake on a rack in the Crock Pot (or use a "ring" of aluminum foil to keep it off the bottom of the pot). Cover and cook on high for 2 1/2 to 3 hours. Let stand in the covered pot (after turning it off) for about 1 to 2 hours, until cool enough to handle. Cool thoroughly before removing pan sides. Chill before serving; store leftovers in the refrigerator.
